Work on the new Day Case Surgery and Imaging Centre at Harrogate District Hospital is due to start in the next few weeks.
Developed by Race Cottam Associates working with Morgan Sindall Construction has signed the building contract with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.
Following planning approval at the end of last year and the successful demolition of the existing Therapy Services building – part of efforts to remove RAAC from the estate – construction is set to begin in the coming weeks.
The two-storey facility, linked to the existing hospital street, will provide state-of-the-art surgical and imaging services. It will house two new operating theatres, two minor procedures treatment rooms, a dedicated day case ward, and an advanced imaging department.
Kirsty Pearson, Senior Project Architect at Race Cottam Associates, said: “It has been a pleasure working with all members of the team and we look forward to seeing the project come to life over the next few months. Thank you to everyone who has helped get the project to this point so far.“
